Abstract excerpt
The bacterial tRNA(Lys)-specific PrrC-anticodon nuclease efficiently cleaved an anticodon stem-loop (ASL) oligoribonucleotide containing the natural modified bases, suggesting this region harbors the specificity determinants. Assays of ASL analogs indicated that the 6-threonylcarbamoyl adenosine modification (t(6)A37) enhances the reactivity. The side chain of the modified wobble base...
